Hail, Adventurers! Meet Adam (or aDaM, in this context), Founder of Tabletop Now and NYC-based Professional Dungeon Master for Dungeons & Dragons Editions 3.5 & 5e, Pathfinder, D20 Modern, D20 Past, and a home-brewed game called "Monster Squad"! He has been playing DnD for over a decade, and has DM'ed over 200 games since 2014 in all sorts of settings: fantasy, sci-fi, superhero, and yes: even Pokemon.
Since becoming a Professional DM 7 years ago, Adam has enjoyed running games for all sorts of folks with all sorts of backgrounds, experience levels, and interests. He tailors every session, and every campaign, to his individual players, making sure they get the most out of the experience by focusing on the aspects of gaming they like best.
More interested in a comedic, anything-goes environment? Let's throw in a stoner beholder! Want more NPC/PC Role-Play time? Sure, he’ll sit back and let you guys argue with Jim the Gnome Bartender all day long! Feel the need for constant combat? Let's roll initiative.
With a background in improv, theatre, and creative writing, Adam brings both an immersive Role-Playing experience, as well as a fun, imaginative world-build with twists and turns, to his table. He is a big fan of subverting expectations, keeping his players guessing, and throwing in lots of intriguing surprises. This is not your dad's DnD. So let's get rolling!
Our Dungeon Masters
Peter Coleman
Peter has been obsessed with Dungeons & Dragons since 2015. When this cool new show called Stranger Things debuted a year later and told the story of a bunch of heroic D&D nerds, Peter truly felt seen for the first time in his life. He’s been running D&D games as a DM for 3 years and loving every second of it. He is a trained actor, voice artist, and sketch comedian. He brings a passion for story telling, a sense of humor, and a Mary Poppins carpet bag full of characters to every table.
Nick Jordan
You may recognize Nick from his work on "City on a Hill" with Kevin Bacon, or the Hallmark holiday favorite, "Mystic Christmas"!
As a professional NYC actor with 10+ years experience (and 15+ years of tabletop gaming experience), Nick brings his wide breadth of training to the table, which includes a Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude in Theater (with a specialization in Acting) and his rigorous training at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts in the heart of New York City. Your games will come to life as he employs his years of experience in the acting and voice over world to breathe life into monsters of legend and entire cities of people!
Although Nick runs games for players of all ages, he specializes in running games for children, and is passionate about the way tabletop roleplaying games provide us with an outlet for creative problem solving, social communication, and team-based cooperation! These games are exercises in self-discovery and empowerment through the vehicle of interactive adventure narratives!

Ogo Sylla
Ogo caught Dungeons & Dragons fever in 2007, when his college roommate handed him a character sheet. Many d20 rolls later, the DMing bug bit him. He's been running games for some 2d10 years, guiding veteran and fledgling parties from the depths of the Underdark to the vast space of the Astral Sea.
Crafting stories in his day job as a PR communicator, he dons a different storytelling hat from behind his DM screen. A lover of anime, players at his table can often spot Easter Eggs from his favorite shows if they pay close enough attention.
Ari Figueroa
Looking for some witchy home-brew magic? Some quirk in your campaign? Look no further! DM Ari will pack your sessions with whimsy, surprise, and just a grand ‘ol time. Originally from Massachusetts and currently a New Yorker, Ari knows that the only fights worth fighting are the ones that you talk about for weeks after. When Ari’s not DMing for their close friends, or younger brothers, they’re playing with fellow drag queens or adding to their from scratch world of Curiouso. Join the party with Ari!
Kay Hemphill
Hailing from Ireland, Kay has been playing D&D for around 15 years, and been DMing for around 7. He has a love for narrative and cooperative storytelling, and his greatest hope is that the players have their very own grand epic that they will never forget.
His strengths as a DM are his ability to improvise almost anything, while maintaining a strong sense of game mechanics. Having a wide roster of varied and interesting NPCs doesn't hurt.
Claudel Auguste
Claudel played his first Dungeons & Dragons (5E) game on March 20th, 2020 with a group of friends from church. His favorite video games were the ones which allowed you to make a character while immersing yourself into the story/world. He felt that DnD took this to another level. That was when he knew he was hooked.
Claudel is very interested in the different themes, genres, and systems of almost every tabletop game. He brings his knowledge, antics, energy, and creative ideas to his table.
